<div>Speaking of 2.4ghz video downlinks, a friend of mine is into shooting airborne videos with such a system. One day we were trying to shoot but were having signal problems with the camera. It ended up being the Futaba TM-7 module I had just started using. I was flying without any apparent problems, but the video downlink was unusable. I ended up switching back to a 72mhz module/rx so we could shoot video, but the fact my system worked without a glitch gave me confidence in the Futaba channel-hopping system.</div> <div> </div> <div>Just M2CW.</div> <div> </div> <div>Bob R.</div> <div> <BR><BR><B><I>ORLANDO FRETS <ojfrets@earthlink.net></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <META content="Microsoft Word 11 (filtered medium)" name=Generator> <STYLE> v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} o\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} w\:*

problem; and the problem must be severe before it will let go. However, I understand interruptions in power can be a problem as well as 2.4 Ghz video systems.
